The “private life” of the tune is public soul-searching.

For nearly a decade, the song-yards’ Merrill Garbus has been playing and dancing on stage, using a number of different instruments and reliable cycle pedals to trick the sound. Although the signature sound of tun-yards is different, Garbus is not the person who labels music.

“It’s always the hardest thing,” she said. “I appreciate that I can’t classify my music, because once you do that, you start making assumptions and start closing people.”

About that time, I believe it was the death of Eric garner, we played a program, and we played our song “go,” which was specifically about police brutality. I held out my hand, saw a young black man, raised his hand, did not clap, and immediately did not see the white hand. I didn’t see the people around me in solidarity with him. That image just burned in my head, and I felt, “there’s something wrong here, what we can do is not happening. How can I do this?
